Halfway through a two-week quarantine, 65 more people aboard the Diamond Princess cruise ship in Yokohama have tested positive for the novel coronavirus, bringing the tally to 135 with only a fraction of the passengers tested, Princess Cruise Lines said Monday.
This means there are now more than 150 confirmed cases in Japan, if the 135 from the Diamond Princess are included.
The ship was put under quarantine soon after its return on Feb. 3 after a passenger who disembarked in Hong Kong was confirmed to have the pneumonia-causing virus.
